amor fati
Tokachi Junmai" @Sapporo
720ml 1,760yen
Recommended sake for first class passengers on JAL domestic flights. 70% polished rice, but with a strong flavor and sharpness without any cloying taste. Hekiungura's brewing water is a medium-hard, mineral-rich water from the Fudanai River system, which originates in the Hidaka Mountains and has been repeatedly named the clearest river in Japan. Three types of sake rice are used: "Comet," "Ginpu," and "Kitashizuku," all of which are suitable for sake brewing in Hokkaido.
In 2016, the sake brewing company in Mie Prefecture, which had suspended sake production, was relocated to Kamikawa-gun, Hokkaido, where the Sounkyo hot spring is located at the foot of the Daisetsuzan mountain range and is visited by approximately 2 million people annually, to establish Kamikawa Taisetsu Sake Brewery Co. As the only sake brewery in Japan located on a university campus, it was named after the student dormitory (Hekiunryo) of Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine. The pentagonal family crest is designed to represent the five tastes of sake: sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, and astringent, using the character for "big" in Daisetsuzan, beautiful snow, and an Ainu pattern as design motifs.
